Conversion utils for errata information to OSV format

errata2osv

About

errata2osv is a tool to convert Errata advisories in Red Hat format to Open Source Vulnerability (OSV) database format.

Installation

1. Install requirements from Pipfile.
2. Configure ecosystem names in src/settings.py

Configuration

In order to map errata collection names to OSV ecosystems, one must fill in collection_name_to_ecosystem dictionary in settings.py. For example:

collection_name_to_ecosystem = {
    # AlmaLinux 8 collection names
    r'almalinux-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms__8_0_default': 'AlmaLinux:8',
    r'almalinux-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms__8_1_virt': 'AlmaLinux:8',
    r'almalinux-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms__8_1_php': 'AlmaLinux:8',
    # AlmaLinux 9 collection names
    r'almalinux-9-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms__9_1_default': 'AlmaLinux:9',
    r'almalinux-9-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms__9_default': 'AlmaLinux:9',
}

Collection names are matched to regex pattern, so it is possible to match multiple collections to the same ecosystem:

collection_name_to_ecosystem = {
    # AlmaLinux 8 collection names
    r'almalinux-8.*': 'AlmaLinux:8',
    # AlmaLinux 9 collection names
    r'almalinux-9.*': 'AlmaLinux:9',
}

Usage

General help:

usage: errata2osv.py [-h] [--ecosystem ECOSYSTEM] updateinfo target_dir

errata to osv converter

positional arguments:
  updateinfo            updateinfo xml with errata information
  target_dir            target directory for output OSV entries

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --ecosystem ECOSYSTEM
                        OSV ecosystem of output OSV entries

errata2osv accepts updateinfo.xml file and produces OSV entries in target dir: one for each <update> tag in updateinfo.xml. By default, ecosystem name for each update in deduced from collection names in <pkglist> tag. If --ecosystem option is specified, it is used for all updates.
